There's no accountability in our political system. It was assumed that it would be there when the Constitution was written, but that assumption has broken down completely. Checks and balances mean nothing when the checks and balances aren't employed.
How do we correct this? There is only one peaceful way, with ballots. Possibly civil disobedience as well. Civil disobedience implies low level conflict, though. It isn't completely peaceful, but it is short of outright rebellion. The other way is a war.
It gets corrected and we have our Republic back. If it doesn't, we will definitely get something else, and chances are, you won't like it.
